The Cleansing

The Cleansing is the thirty-sixth mission of Hyrule Historia and the tenth mission in The Return of Sulkaris arc. Sulkaris has successfully destroyed a First Sage, a feat thought impossible. Just as the dust settles from her Gohma assault, the enigmatic Oocca launch an attack of their own to halt Sulkaris' advance, destroying everything in their path.

Flashback to the past. Link steals a pie and leaves behind a Gold Rupee as 'payment', then runs away from a Peahat guard 'dog' until the Peahat gets stuck between two trees. Link brings the pie to Saria.

Drop pods start to fall from the cloud, from which Commandants and Walker Cannons emerge. The Commandants engage in battle with the Gohma, while the Walker Cannons shell the city indiscriminately without any concern for its habitants.

Demoko: All of Hyrule will thank me when her destruction is made known.

Liyer: You deeply misunderstand Hylians.

Demoko: And you deeply misunderstand their fanaticism!

Demoko: When you've finished becoming an Oocca you will understand.

Liyer: Then I don't want to become one. (walks away)

Demoko: Send out Emissaries to inform Hyrule that the Gohma threat is over.

Ooccoo: At once, your Highness. (cuts the communication)

Demoko prepares to leave before noticing a Gohma appearing in the scrying pool. Sulkaris, having invoked the power of the Sage Medallion to survive the Aura, takes a communicator from a Commandant's corpse to speak to Demoko.

Sulkaris: Did you think you could bring an end to me so easily?

Sulkaris: If you think Malkorbagia is the only First Sage who will die, you are mistaken.

Sulkaris: I will seek another to destroy promptly.

Sulkaris: And when I have killed all our dear siblings I will come after you.

Sulkaris: You can try to stop me, but every city you glass will turn Hyrule against you more.

Sulkaris: There is nothing you can do to hide the Truth anymore.

Sulkaris: Your reign over Hyrule is over, liar!

Sulkaris: All your work will be undone soon enough.

Sulkaris: Hyrule will know the Truth, and then it will be mine!

Demoko(runs away and speaks to Ooccoo): Charge the Aura and find Sulkaris, I want her dead!!!
